Monday Flotsam and Jetsam

Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.

Have become convinced that some in blue states have truly convinced themselves that the "state of politics they find themselves in" is somehow Donald Trump's fault. Not kidding. These usually levelheaded people have somehow deluded themselves into thinking that it's not the fault of the people they keep electing but that Orange Man bad.

Sunday Flotsam and Jetsam

Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.

The Senate failed to pass the Save Act requiring voter ID even though it nominally passed along strict party lines 52-48. All the Yea's were Republican and all the No's were Democrats. For some reason 60-votes were needed. Not sure if this is what they intended but they are turning many people into single issue voters.
